Silver
Lies
It
happened in
Silicon Valley.
In Sutter's
Mill. And in
Leadville.
They
all came to
Leadville with
the same purpose:
Get in. Get
rich. Get out.
As
1879 is drawing
to a close,
this Rocky Mountain
boom town has
infected the
world with silver
fever. Investors,
confidence men,
merchants, miners...
all flock to
Leadville looking
for the next
strike. Women
join the rush
as well—among
them, saloon
owner Inez Stannert.
When a prominent
mining assayer
is found trampled
behind her establishment,
she's determined
to unravel the
mystery of his
death. Her search
takes her from
the mines and
banks of Leadville
to the exclusive
parlor houses
of Denver. Along
the way, she
finds that lies
and secrets
run deep in
Colorado and
many will stop
at nothing to
get rich...
